@VectorStyler Thank you. I appreciate it. It works, 'saving' and 'save-as'.

@VectorStyler I will try

@Subpath said in Canva acquired Cavalry: In short, they're moving towards becoming a bigger company and trying to capture the market of newcomers and somewhat experienced users. The fact that they also offer their software for "free" will also make things even more difficult for independent graphics software developers and in this may end in a few big companys. What would be happen with new concepts, alternative innovative ways to develope new graphics software ? Small graphics software developers can still compete with Affinity as long as they create more performant and more feature-rich software. Affinity's performance is very good, but it still doesn't have Illustrator's and VectorStyler's main features yet

@EricP Thank you, because that's what gave me the idea to try it. Although I thought you'd know it and point it out. As I already wrote, it's quite misleading that the gradient object initially receives a solid color fill and then you have to create the gradient again with the new colors. As I wrote in my thread "Houston, I have a problem...", it's quite often the case that a feature one need is already build in. I always wonder how @vectorstyler knew before hand what I would need. But my suggestions about creating a gradient are still valid.

@861475_VctSt お返事にありがとう～　その設定でもう一度見ます。 しかし、IMEでなく英語入力したらある問題もみえるし、リポートすることも必要だと思います。

@EricP the tutorial is posted

@VectorStyler Great worked. Thanks.

@VectorStyler Intelligent Line to Curve Conversion I will add this to the backlog. Can you send me a few before / after examples for this? Here is a short GIF showing the behavior. It allows moving straight segments without creating curves, preventing accidental distortion. Curves are only introduced intentionally using Alt. This behavior is currently possible by selecting multiple nodes, but the goal here is to allow direct segment selection and manipulation with a single click. Especially when shapes overlap, selecting the correct nodes can be difficult. With this behavior, you can directly select the segment and make adjustments more easily. https://imgur.com/a/hfikSNx

@marce said in Just a Pattern: @Subpath "Forum says "you can upvote a user only six times per day", Very curious, didn't know that. But dont worry, if my post inspire people or are helpful then this is fine enough

@Raaskot said in How do I drag a straight segment without bending it?: @VectorStyler Just to confirm: Is there no VS-tool (other that A or V + modifier), where you click a segment and the select the adjecent nodes and hence do the operation? No such feature. You have to select the nodes

Over the past few days, I combined the features I suggested in separate posts into a short GIF. https://imgur.com/a/YKifKbA

To make the idea clearer, I’ve put together a visual overview that highlights the key behaviors and interactions of the tool. This idea comes from observation rather than direct experience, so there might be some flaws in the logic, but I believe a similar behavior could still be worth considering. The idea was also influenced by VectorStyler’s strong snapping system it made me wonder whether a form of tangent locking could exist within a similar logic.

@Kumr There is an image effect for Inner Shadow for now.

@marce said in Margins only in points?: Even if i check "All Artboards on Canvas" i need to setup each margin individually Are these artboards all on the same canvas? I tried to replicate this, but here all artboards on the current canvas are changed.

@Boldline said in Could locking a layer free up VS to only render and focus on active layers?: it will essentially tell VS to see that selection as an image and not try to render and re-render the nodes each time I work on other parts of the file? Yes. Is there a time I should leave it off or turn it off at a given point? It can be too slow if there are only a few vectors in the layer. It works better for large number of (unchanged) vectors, gradients or image effects Should I be adjusting anything with the "rendering thread"? Let that unchecked, so it will use the current number of CPU cores on the system

@VectorStyler Thanks. Will check it out.

@VectorStyler Thanks. Progress is clearly visible at a glance. It's incredibly useful. It also shows how energetic the developers are.

@Ridgehammer There is some issue with the environment (settings or workspace). Try restoring to defaults.

@VectorStyler Thank you for taking a look at it, I'll get back to you.

@VectorStyler The problem occurred when creating a new repeater with options. Editing an existing repeater worked fine.
